A customer involved in orthopedic research enquired about a PC for use in analyzing medical images such as CT and MRI, and for statistical shape models.
The desired memory size is 64GB or 128GB, and the configuration must have high parallel processing capabilities so that it can operate 24 hours a day. The actual frequency of use is about 2-3 times a month for analysis over the course of a day and night. The software that will be used is as follows:
|
[Software to be used] ・Mimics ver25 |
Since 3-matic's system requirements do not include AMD CPUs, the customer is considering Intel CPUs, but would also like advice on CPU selection. The OS is Windows 11, and the budget is within 50 yen including accessories such as an LCD display.
Based on the contents of the consultation, we proposed the following configuration.
| CPU | Core i7-14700 2.10GHz(8C/16T)+1.50GHz(12C/12T) |
| memory | Total 64GB DDR5-5600 32GB x 2 |
| storage | 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe Gen4 |
| Video | NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB (MiniDisplayPort x4) |
| network | on board(2.5GBase-T x1) Wi-Fi x1 |
| Housing + power supply | Middle tower case + 850W |
| OS | Microsoft Windows 11 Professional 64bit |
| Other | 21.5-inch wide FullHD LCD display |
In order to meet the requirement of a configuration with high parallel processing power, we are recommending a configuration that uses a Core i7-14700 CPU.
With this budget, it would be difficult to adopt a Xeon, but if you are prioritizing the number of CPU cores, the Ryzen 9 series will be fine.
As of October 2024, the recommended system requirements on the 10-matic website are:" 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5/i7 or equivalent "It says: Since AMD CPUs are considered to be "equivalent products," there is no problem with them, and since the third generation Intel CPUs are models from over 3 generations ago, the internal architecture has changed compared to current models. Considering this, it is best to think of the recommended system requirements here as a rough guideline.
